The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) yesterday said it intercepted 45,571 items containing drugs, ammunition and scam letters with counterfeit financial instruments worth N13.74billion in 2012.

Disclosing this in Abuja during the 2013 World Post Day Celebration, the Post Master General of the Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Mori Baba said NIPOST officials were able to intercept the illegal items.
Alhaji Baba, who was represented by the Deputy Post Master General (DPMG) Yashim Isa Bitiyong, also said the country was able to record reduction in crimes perpetrated through the postal outlets last year.
He said this was possible with the collaboration with Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) of Britain, the Customs Service, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The Post Master General said that over 45 million mail items were handled by NIPOST last year out of which 10.3million came from abroad and delivered in Nigeria while 2.4milliion were dispatched abroad from the country.
He said due to activities of insurgents in some states and coupled with lack of proper address and street naming the company found it difficult to deliver some mails within the set delivery target of 72 hours and that made it lost 10 percent of its revenue.
He also said a committee set up by the minister of communications technology Omobola Johnson is currently working on national addressing system with a view to coming up with a well articulated system for the country.
